    Here is a photo of a painting of a photo.

    My poor fuzzy shot (disposable camera) of my watercolour inspired by a photo that is from another BCO sister, Tomboy (Kathe in Los Angeles). It is Central Park. You get two of us for the price of one.

    Here is the original photograph by Tomboy:

    Thank you, dears, feline and lover. I could not have done it without Tomboy.

    Let's hear it for her, too.

    Yeaaaaaa!

    Since my diagnosis and treatment one year ago, I have shown (for the first time) some graphite sketches and photographs in local art exhibits here in St. Louis. This sketch is entitled "Rescued".

    Alpineartist, those are amazing. You have some mad skills! Every time I try to enlarge them, it gets blurry so I can't tell what it is....acrylic, oil, conte? What size are they?

    I love to do "crafts" but I am not an "Artist" at all.... I glued one of my crochet scarves around a lampshade tot this little lamp...

    Oh WOW! Did you use stencils? I "ragged" my walls, and I thought THAT was good.... but didn't make a design.... turned out very well though!

    Nice JOB Jo and Rose! I always get ideas from looking at pictures! I want to paint my back door.... And I look at Google Images, and some of those are just BEAUTIFUL!....

    Yes, ragging is fun! But I did sections.... not the whole living/dining room at once.... I had taken off dark wood paneling that I had put up... so I had to fill the "holes" and then paint a white base coat first... I won't do it over.... just because I still like it...even after 20 years! Winking

    Yes Jo.... I love the embroidery! My Dad used to do those embroidery pillows... AND the paint-by-number... do any of you remember those?

    And the "latch-hook" rugs we made with yarn, onto a design?

    Jo, my Dad stitched so many beautiful little pillows.... I finally took them apart and made them into a pretty spread... Most were "Daughter" embroidered! Then I used batting, and lace around it all...
